Dan Iacovelli Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) I'm reviving this topic, since VGS won't be happening next year,I figure it would be the best time ro revive the local meetings. location to be announced some time january(Ihave to find out the infomation about it though,last time I contacted the place it was around the time they were remodling) the date will be on Satuday after 3pm(either some time in the fall or spring 2007) Edited August 20, 2006 by Dan Iacovelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any other groups in Chicago? besides us there is SCAT they meet regularly(http://www.scatarians.org/ ) I'm going be working on starting to get a meetings together for next year. I'm going to try for Saturdays,but it won't regular, prob start with two meetings a year since it won't be at my home. when I do VGS it will be one meeting a year though because VGS will take up the second meeting. if you want to know any other groups(besides atari) let me know I know a few) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Out of curiosity, what exactly does the Video Club do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 the club is basicly fanzine based(that the national club not the local) AVC also does Video game summit and runs the Jagfest section at MGC. The local club hasn't been doing anything lately our last attempt for meeting was back in 2000 I think. This year I want it get back togther see what other atari gamers are up to and see if they have any ideas for future.(this meeting is also going be used to discuss plans for VGS'08) The club(national) also sponsors the chat meetings,and have at least 6 yahoo groups (AVC IL, AVC VA(which is basicly dead I'm thinking of droping it), two Jaguar Community United groups(one discusion,one announcments)VGS and Jagfest) besides the Fanzine, we also have shop on Cafepress.com we also had a hand with Atari Jaguar directory web site. check out the AVC website for what we do.
